How to make a paper scale… A paper scale can be used to find the distance between 2 or more points on a map. Find the scale on the map. Place upper left corner at the start of the scale. Make marks at equal intervals along the top edge of the card. Label the marks. Use the scale to measure distance between points on a map. ** What is the distance between the 2 red stars?** (9 miles) f. You can use a paper map scale to find distances on any map that provides a scale 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 1 cm = 1 mile
